title: Pd-catalyzed C-H activation/C-N bond formation: a new route to 1-aryl-1H-benzotriazoles.
abstract: A method for the C-H activation of aryl triazene compounds followed by intramolecular amination is described. It involves the use of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)(2) that efficiently effects the cyclization to provide 1-aryl-1H-benzotriazoles at moderate temperature.
